Hibs vs Celtic LIVE score team news and build-up ahead of the Premiership clash

League leaders Celtic aim to seize the chance of opening up a six-point advantage at the top of the Scottish Premiership at midday against Hibs.

It may well be temporary, however, with Rangers in action later in the day against Motherwell at Ibrox.

The chastening 5-1 aggregate defeat to Bodo/Glimt in the Europa Conference League is a timely remember of what Celtic must improve on moving forward.

And Shaun Maloney would love nothing more than landing a signature win to give his team a jolt as they look for a strong finish to the season.

Consecutive wins have changed the mood at Hibs after a poor run coming off the winter break as they adapt to life after talisman Martin Boyle.

Easter Road hasn't been kind to the Premiership leaders in recent years but a first half blitz in October helped them on their way to a convincing 3-1 win.

Both teams play an expansive style and onlookers will be hoping for a clash which excites and provides plenty of drama.

The stakes are high and we have all the build-up and team news ahead of the kick off at High Noon.
